motion. chair hur: public comment on the motion? >> david pilpel. i would just suggest this so the authority is clear going forward, so i think it makes sense, and i encourage you to pass the motion. by. >> peter warfield. as long as you are trying to do things formally and properly, i think it would be good to let a very clear motion. i thought you were discussing a schedule and had come up with a list of dates and actions on either side, and now all of a sudden, we seem to have some kind of empowering of the chair to take certain action, so i am not all clear what that aspect is or what exactly you are voting on, so i think it would be useful to state the motion clearly as to what you are voting on. thank you.
6:01 pm
chair hur: and the other? mr. st. croix? >> i make a motion that you and power the chair to make adjustments to the schedule that has been laid out tonight. chair hur: i think that motion has been made and seconded, and the motion was not to change the schedule but that if the parties, sometimes in the sort of things come issues come up where dates have to be modified slightly, and rather than slow down the process by requiring the entire body to meet over a routine at ministerial matter, this would allow the chair to handle those and allow the process to move smoothly and as quickly as due process would allow. vice president studley: i understood the motion. i think it was clear.
6:02 pm
although we do not normally respond directly, i think the question was where did this schedule come from since the schedule had been adopted with agreement from the parties and was not adopted by motion. we are being more formal and that your authority than we were about the terms of the schedule, and i think if that is the proper procedural step, it would just help to clarify the weight that the schedule has and why you are proceeding as you did, either after voting on the motion or before. chiar hur: i am not sure i follow what you're suggesting we do. vice president hur: -- studley: its source of authority is different than what we are voting on now. i am just say that we do not
6:03 pm
need to vote on it. chair hur: ok, to be perfectly crystal clear, we do not need to vote on implementing a procedure will schedule, and that is what the commission did not vote on it. the agreement discussed with the parties is the procedure will schedule. there is no objection, that is the schedule that will govern going forward, absent an administrative request for some modification if there is good cause or something like that, so with that, all in favor of the motion that was put forth by commissioner studley? any opposed? the motion passes. thank you all for your patient participation in this. the meeting is adjourned.
